Turbo Petite Lobster Tail

Eliminate risk of ‘overcooked-lobster-remorse’ by cooking these little ocean VIP’s sous vide in half the time! Seal the bag and let them bob away in the pot until the timer gives you the ping of approval. A quick flash-sear for golden caramelization and you’re good to go.

This recipe is tuned in for Breville+. Download the app and let Autopilot take the guesswork out of cooking, using our visual doneness selector.

Instructions

  • 1Place the Joule™ Turbo Sous Vide inside a pot or large vessel (max 8 quarts) and place on a trivet. Fill with cool tap water until approximately halfway between the minimum and maximum fill lines and keep the pot uncovered.
    Tip: A trivet will protect your countertop from direct contact with the hot pot or vessel. 
  • 2Place the lobster tail(s) in a microwave-safe, zipper-lock freezer bag with the longest edge running along the base of the bag. Sprinkle with salt and add the oil. If cooking up to 4 tails, place flat, in the bag side by side. If cooking more, use multiple bags.
    Tip: To prevent the lobster tails curling when searing, insert a skewer lengthwise through the core, before bagging.
  • 3In Breville+, press Set Time & Temp at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts to customize the cooking of your lobster tail(s). Once set, lower the bag into the water against the side of the pot, while using a spatula to push it three-quarters of the way down. This will remove the air and ensures it does not float. Seal the bag and Start Turbo. 
  • 4When the timer signals that the lobster is done, heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Carefully remove the bag from the water. Place the lobster tail(s) on a paper towel lined cooling rack set over a tray and pat dry. 
  • 5Only when the pan starts to smoke (this will prevent overcooking and sticking), add 1 tablespoon of oil and sear the lobster tail(s) for 30 seconds on each side or until golden brown. Repeat as necessary to cook all lobster tails.
    Tip: For extra flavor and color, you can add a knob of butter and baste the lobster tails while searing.
  • 6Transfer the lobster tail(s) to a serving plate and drizzle with herb oil if desired.
